The management in the US comprises of old drinking buddies from the UK. If your not part of that group you have no career progression. They are only concerned with getting you to a client's site and billing you at at exorbitant rates. Better off working for same client under a payroll processing company, at least you'll be paid more.

Worked both with a team and solo. Team work coverd an area from West Cost to East coast central Area. Working on my own was mostly office based with visits to suppliers and users to discuss what was wanted and could we Estimate the correct Quantities.

On a normal day whilst working in the central area was start travelling between 6am and 7am, as client started work at 8am. Stayed over when required. Was responsable for 6 teams of four people each at a different site. Work at the sites normally was 2 to 3 weeks.My co-workers covered the North, South and sections outside our areas.The hardest part of the job was the long didstances travelled.The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people and co-ordinating the 6 teams so they could complete there work on time.

A typical day at work was to manage development and construction projects from conception through completion. I most enjoyed working and developing others, such as co-workers and consultants. I enjoyed travel and meeting new people; owners, municipal and state contacts, landowners and consultants.

Challenging work environment, lack of documentation and training made it difficult to understand business processes. Not enough time allowed in estimates to perform thorough development; encouraged to slow down and be precise, but then constantly put under pressure to hurry up.
